Experts in High-Risk Pregnancies

Caring for high-risk moms is truly a Swedish specialty.

While most pregnancies are completely normal, every now and then a mom and her unborn baby need some special help. Fortunately, Swedish’s Maternal and Fetal Specialty Center is one of the most experienced in the Pacific Northwest at managing complicated pregnancies.

And what, exactly, is a complex pregnancy? While there are no hard and fast rules, these are the situations that make it worthwhile to look into a hospital well-versed at handling high-risk pregnancies:

You’re over 35

You or your partner have a family history of genetic birth concerns

You’ve had complications during an earlier pregnancy, or they develop during your current pregnancy

You have a medical condition that can affect pregnancy, such as diabetes or obesity
